Growlithe (80): Rarity & Collectibility
Growlithe (80) in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common #080/147 of the Aquapolis set, it is the kind of card RarePokemonCard tracks for scarcity and collector demand rather than raw price alone. The harder a card is to pull in top condition, the more weight serious collectors place on it.
How Rare & Valuable Is Growlithe (80)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Growlithe (80) (Common, Aquapolis #080/147) changes hands at roughly $69.99, and availability keeps it within easy reach for collectors. Because demand concentrates on clean copies, surface wear is punished hard: a Near Mint example commands about $69.99, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $5.00. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $69.99, Lightly Played $43.47, Moderately Played $36.00, Heavily Played $20.00, Damaged $5.00 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Growlithe (80) is valued near $425.00 — about 6.1x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Growlithe (80): Gem Mint & Population
Even for a card at this rarity, the top of the market belongs to certified gem-mint copies. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Growlithe (80) sits around $425.00 — roughly 6.1x a raw copy. That gap exists because relatively few examples ever earn a perfect grade, so gem-mint population is the real scarcity collectors chase. Step down a notch and demand spreads across PSA 9 $38.00, PSA 8 $100.00 — each tier a smaller, scarcer pool than the one below it. The rule of thumb for collectors: the rarer the card, the more a certified high grade matters to its standing.
